Members rahimiiii Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 Remember the thread a while ago about modded strats..? well here it is again... I started a thread called "post your natural body strat" and I entered one last year (I think). The problem is I don't have a picture of the origional unmodded strat anymore. I do have a picture of the origional body here however.... I have since took the body and refinished it to 3 tone sunburst in nitrocellouse lacquer I think (well it doesn't say if its nitro or acrylic on the can). Here are some pics... Everything is 100% origional, except for the finish. I didn't like the color it came with so I thought a 3 tone sunburst would look nice. It wasn't 100% perfect as you would expect of an amatuer sunburst, but its okay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John S. Shinal Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 USA "57 Reissue" Strat, factory dated 3/85. Replacement deep-V neck w/Pau Ferro board by USA Custom Guitars (original neck worn out ) Amber neck lacquer by me. Seymour Duncan "little 59ers" in neck and bridge, DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Blues in middle. Master volume and tone, mini switch by 5-way turns on neck p/u no matter what the main switch is doing. Second mini switch splits bridge/normal/neck pickup coils. Guitar has .027 tone cap and treble bleed cap on volume. This guitar will generally do anything pretty well. Currently building up a Mahogany+Maple/Ebony Parts-o-caster with H-S-H, no pix yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
